The general objective of the project is to increase European citizens’ participation in sports by organizing an orienteering competition addressed to non-professionals from at least 3 countries, from a variety of cultural backgrounds and ethnic communities. The event will take place during the European Week of Sport (September 12-18) in Predeal – one of the most well-known touristic resorts from Romania and will engage teams of young people of both genders from 5 different countries (Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia and Turkey) in activities that will enhance physical activity, good health and social inclusion.

The project addresses the needs of multiple target groups:

• non-professionals of all ages who wish to improve their health and knowledge of nature through orienteering;

• coaches and representatives of orienteering clubs, who will enhance their capacity to implement transnational projects by sharing best practices and experiences.
